Sucking Sap From The Internet

Published January 26, 2010 by Warren Ellis

These intended viral teasers have been showing up on YouTube since the end of last year, apparently. I just fell over them today. Some people say it’s Xtina, some people say it’s Goldfrapp. There is a flavour of Floria Sigismondi in places.

I agree: too aggressive and brooding for the current incarnation of Goldfrapp. Also seems like there aren’t enough actual, you know, lyrics, for a pop singer like Aguilera. Although she does have an album coming up in Q2, the likely single has been described as “a poppy hip-hop inflected throwback to Madonna’s Vogue”, which this, uh, isn’t.
